Mitty Collier ‎– Shades Of A Genius 1965 (Chess)

Label : Chess

Value :

One of the greatest Chess soul albums of the 60s!

Mitty first started
out recording gospel – and later went back to it – but this excellent
album for Chess features Mitty stepping out in a deep soul style that's
different than some of the other Chicago singers of the 60s. There's
certainly a gospel finish to the work – as Mitty's vocal range is
incredible, and steeped in a spiritual approach to the material – but
the arrangements also have a classy touch to them, and almost push Mitty
into uptown soul territory, making for a really compelling mix of
styles.
